Two million new players are now known to have picked up and played the title over the past three months, but that doesn’t mean EA are pulling plans for a sequel.

This appeared to be confirmed during the latest company financial earnings call, with Chief Executive Officer Andrew Wilson and Chief Financial Officer Blake Jorgensen confirming 12 games are in development at EA, all using the Frostbite engine.

This also apparently includes a new Battlefield game, although no further details were given on setting or location.

This was referenced simply as “the next great Battlefield game” and currently has no release date attached, aside from a 2018 window.

But while the recent earning call made for good news for Battlefield fans, the same can’t be said for Mass Effect.

Mass Effect Andromeda DLC is looking increasingly unlikely, as EA went quiet on the franchise during its latest earnings call.

EA barely mentioned Mass Effect Andromeda during its first quarter earnings call, which suggests that new DLC is unlikely.

Battlefield 1 DLC: They Shall Not Pass arrives in March and will include new weapons and four maps.

Xbox One and PS4 fans are crying out for these critically-acclaimed Xbox 360 and PS3 games to be remastered.

“The addition of a console-version of The Sims 4 has been long-awaited by fans and newcomers alike, and we at Maxis are beyond excited to bring The Sims to new platforms,” said Executive Producer, Lyndsay Pearson.

“The game delivers a beautiful The Sims experience on console and comes packed with tons of the fan-favourite content, so players can look forward to the unique gameplay, self-expression, and fun that have come to be tentpoles of The Sims brand.

“The possibilities to play with life are as endless as the player's’ creativity.”

EA says that The Sims 4 on console will give players the same unique gameplay the PC base game has to offer, plus many of the additional content updates added to The Sims 4 post-launch.

After the console game launches, fans can also look forward to periodic game updates and extra content releases.

“From creating unique Sims and building amazing homes to developing Sim’s relationships and pursuing careers, The Sims 4 delivers the same emotional connection our PC players cherish to a new wave of console players,” a message from EA teases.

“Fans will enjoy being empowered to create and control people in a vibrant virtual world as they experience life’s unpredictable, entertaining moments along the way.”
